Wolff interview on AN

Blez has an interview with Lew Wolff on Athletics Nation, mostly on stadium matters. Worth reading. Wolff insists that the A’s want to stay in Northern California — “I don’t want to have to fly to Omaha to see our games” — and he’s looking for the blue-ribbon committee to figure out where.

MLB has to tell us what our next move is and they’ll tell us sometime. Maybe this committee will find something that I didn’t notice. I don’t believe they will. All I want is a ballpark.

There are a few ways to interpret this. One is that he’s been studying Buddhism and adopted fatalism. A more likely one is that he thinks the blue-ribbon committee will study the proposed sites in Oakland, find them not viable, and then MLB will take a hard look at the Giants’ territorial rights to San Jose.

UPDATE: City Brights blogger Zennie Abraham weighs in with this response to A’s minority owner Guy Saperstein. Let’s just say Zennie’s point of view is very different from mine.
